Last night I started feeling icky. Then the nausea turned into stomach cramps that have wakened me off and on all night. I have spent many minutes wondering what is going on. I recounted how one of my kids had been barely sick on Friday. Thought about what we had for dinner. Should be no problem there - I pulled frozen meat from the freezer that was precooked.
Suddenly, it hit me. Oh no. Not good. Earlier in the day, I'd taken a drink of water from a bottle that had been used to feed a baby bird with a dropper. ACK. I kept thinking I needed to throw that bottle out. And forgot.
So what do I most likely have? Salmonella. From contaminated water. In other words: food poisoning. Yippee.
The good news is, no one else will get it. Not even the baby, as you can't pass salmonella through breastmilk. And the other good side is: hubby is on leave, so if I get it really badly, he is here to feed and tend to the kids whilst I languish on the couch. LOL
So far though, just cramps and nausea. The last time I had food poisoning was when I was preggy with Sunshine. I know what to do: keep from getting dehydrated (throwing up/diarrhea) and wait it out.

Oh no---I hope it passes quickly!!
oh dear, hope you feel better soon :(
Ick! I was just saying to hubby that I know of two people who just in the past couple weeks had food poisoning. The baby bird and bottle thing is pretty unique though ... not that you care right now as you are puking! You poor thing - hope it passes quickly - very quickly!
